WHAT THIS BLOG IS:
The purpose of this blog is to assist each of us to walk in harmony and balance with the Universe, the natural order of things, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. We will discuss Natural Remedies and Herbal Remedies, our Gifts of Spirit like intuitive thought, being an Empath or a Psychic. We may discuss many forms of Spirituality, Spirits and what happens when we die, and discuss unwelcomed visitors in our space. We may discuss how the natural world, seen and unseen, affects our physical world or how to deal with energies. There are so many things we can talk about together to help us understand our here and our now in this Earth Walk, and how to live better within these energies.
Here is my basic recipe for walking in balance:
1 cup of don’t take yourself too serious – How important is it really?
1 cup of Humor – laughter is the best medicine – laugh at yourself first.
1 cup of Research – Book based knowledge is a good foundation but don’t believe everything you read.
1 cup of Wisdom – We can know many things but that does not make us Wise. Applying knowledge and personal experience to our lives can help us to embrace wisdom.
1 cup of Common Sense – think out of the box, take what you can use and leave the rest alone.
1 cup of Humble Pie – Humility – remain teachable
1 cup of Compassion – always come from a place of Love and Empathy – walk in another persons shoes
1 cup of Agree to Disagree – We will not always agree on the same solution – the same solution does not work for everyone. It is not my purpose to convert another to my way of thinking. I could be wrong and so can you.
1 cup of Growth – If we do not grow, we get stagnant and become closed minded.
1 cup of Here and Now – If we let go of the past, stay out of future results, we can remain in this day, where the miracle of life occurs.
1 cup of Do Your Best – We may not always walk in grace and apply simple principles in our lives, but if we do our best we can be free from remorse, guilt and remain open to growth.
1 cup of any positive ingredient that makes it tastier for you and yours.
1 cup of each of the Four Agreements - Be impeccable with your word, Don't make assumptions, Don't take things personal, and Do your best always.
Mix Well. This recipe is like Friendship bread. You might have to visit it many times to make it rise. Then don’t keep it to yourself, share it with a friend.
Living well in this day and time can be a struggle. So many of us are searching for remedies in our every day life that might guide us to a better understanding of things. Whether it is finding solutions in coping with the energies that we walk through daily, becoming aware of and using our individual “gifts” or expanding our knowledge of how to use herbal natural remedies to help us be physically well.
We are affected mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually by the events in our daily affairs. In my research I continue to find a wealth of information that aids me in knowing what to do next, which way to turn, how to use our Plant Helpers for healing or information that even aids me in just being patient to wait on a Universal directive. In my daily connections with you the people and my personal life experiences, I continue to find the courage to change, to remain open minded and willing to embrace new understandings that become a foundation for the solutions in living in balance and staying relatively happy and relatively sane.
My mentors have taught me that we are always a student as well as a teacher. From this premise, humbly learning from each other and humbling teaching what we know to be our truth today, this blog is born.
I do not think myself an expert on any subject. Articles shared will be born from experience, research [sources of information will be shared], daily observation and conclusions, some speculation, brainstorming with you the people and simple common sense. I remain ever humble and open minded and hope that you join me in this journey of expansion and personal enlightenment. I promise to remain always teachable and open for change.
WHAT THIS BLOG IS NOT:
It is not meant to be a venue for soap boxing, venting or for dumping your baggage. There is a time and healthy place for release. Release is always a good thing when done in an appropriate setting or with the appropriate mentor. We encourage your release of emotional baggage and the stress of living, but this can have a negative effect on people. Please choose your forum wisely when releasing. We strongly encourage hugging a tree and asking the Standing People to receive your “dead wood”, your baggage so you can sort through things. This will open you for receiving a new understanding or solution for your current affairs.
It is not meant to be a forum for judging people or for expanding your ego by making another appear less knowledgeable. We all know many things. We want you to share your knowledge. If what you read is not what you believe, then agree to disagree and simply share a different perspective. If you have knowledge that will help us expand ours, please share that in a tempered and loving way.
It is not meant to be a forum for your personal gain in advertising, for promotion of your own blog, website or services. I call that harvesting another person’s hard work. This does not mean that you cannot share a website or research that you have done or something that truly will benefit all of those here. If you do share your own website and knowledge base, then we ask that you share our website with your network. In my traditions, there must always be an exchange, this is balance and true sharing.
If your comment gets removed it might be because I felt it didn’t align itself to the forum and it’s intent. Please don't take this personal. We want to hear from you so you might revisit your comment and present it differently so your voice can be heard.
Above all, please have fun on this blog and we hope that in time the knowledge extended here will grow into a place where everyone can find something that will help them walk in beauty.
May Creator embrace you with Love, with Light, and may understanding find you. Many Great thanks for sharing this Earth Walk, this journey with us.
